Comte Abbatucci Vin de France Rouge "Monte Bianco" 2019

97 points La Revue du Vin de France: "The history of this estate begins in the 20th century with a visionary. Antoine Abbatucci, the founder of this grapevine nursery, a veritable conservatory of native Corsican grape varieties. Jean-Charles Abbatucci, Antoine's son, has taken the estate to a higher level (massale selections, a demanding biodynamic regime, rootstocks adapted to the soil and the site, etc.). The whole range is remarkable.. always integrating the old grape varieties. Each of them brings aromas, freshness, and substance or consistency: the wines are digestible and fine, thanks to the refusal of excessive interventionism, and the aging has been refined with the contribution of large casks and concrete eggs. [The 2019 Monte Bianco}, a masterful expression of sciaccarellu, this intense and serene wine, with an airy but robust texture and powdery tannins. We will be dazzled by its nose of clementine zest and essential oils, which tickles the nostrils."
